Down in the dumps today

Full Member

I've been on my diet now for 5 weeks and the first 4 weeks went well, lost a stone quite steadily over those 4 weeks.

To boost my weight loss I thought I'd try and exercise this last week, so I've done a fitness DVD, got the exercise bike out and have been going for walks on my lunch break. WI today and I've put on 1lb! I've not cheated once on the diet and now I feel so down.

I've tried to do the right thing and its made things worse!

Has anyone else experienced this? Will the weight loss catch up or should I just stop with the exercise (which is how I'm feeling now)?

I know exercise will change my body shape and tone up, but at the moment I'm just concerned with losing the weight! Perhaps when I'm somewhere nearer my target weight I should start?? I don't know

Sorry for the rant, just makes me feel like everything I've done is for nothing

I agree. If you enjoy the excercies, then def stick with it. It has numerous benefits, of which weightloss is only one. There are many reasons for your 1lb gain (and is that an 'official' gain?) so stick with it and see what happens next week.

Will be thin god dammit!!

As people have said above - 1lb gain could be anything and im sure nowt to do with your plan - Is it a star week maybe?
Keep up the exercise and get your tape measure out cos your bound to start losing inches x
